Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It does its job. It works exceptionally. Not a fan of the enclosure, but works well. I have two asus gaming laptops and the 5 year old laptop works and runs faster overall then the 2 year old one.

Nero platinum is a full-size dvd burner that works with windows and osx out of the box. While it is on the big side the performance it gives makes it worth it. I plan to make a dedicated rpi burning station using this drive and a rpi 4 cm and set this... Read More

Using as backup for data. It reads and writes blu-ray discs.

Cons

Price

I would totally recommend this one even with the higher price you get what you pay for honestly with this thing.

Given i've gotten this "like new" refurbished product for $60 from computer headquarters inc with all the accessories and manua... Read More

A little pricy, but works as advertised.

I wanted to get the best value for my dollar.

Shipping

Everything i've purchased from amazon was on time, worked as expected and seller was great!
